Mediocre
The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America
Ijeoma Oluo
A scathing indictment of white male America's deliberate efforts to subvert women, people of color, and the disenfranchised, this ambitious survey of American history explores the backstory of America's growth, from immigrant migration to sociopolitical movements that reinforce male power. Through interviews, research, and powerful personal writing, the author reveals how white men have long maintained a stranglehold on leadership, at the cost of everyone else's pursuit of happiness.

My last piece @TheAtlantic was a list of 10 notable political books by Black women published in 2020 when the American people made history by electing Vice President Kamala Harris. Check the stack! These are the books I recommend for #BlackHistoryMonth. – fuente2020-12-03T17:31:25.000Z
50 pages in and absolutely loving the newest @IjeomaOluo book, Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America. It brilliantly captures the dangers of this mediocrity (itself a symptom of privilege) for all, including the very white folks it benefits in relative terms – fuente
